Red 2

Oldies have fun

(Edit) 07/11/2017

Malkovich is just great presence all the way through. Bruce does Die Hard with a bit more humour. Fun film despite Helen finding the guns heavy, even though are prob fibreglass..............

R.I.P.D.

Jeff goes Wild Bill.

(Edit) 07/11/2017

OK, has loads of computer generated, but there is actually some dialogue and acting. Love Jeff films anyway. Has done so many good ones, right back to Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, passing Fisher King on the way with Lebowski, Kpax, Trons, etc etc. So many good films.

Gravity

Boring or what?

(Edit) 07/11/2017

How can so much money be wasted. So called stars signed up, and then not giving them a proper film with script or credibility

The Mummy

First was better

(Edit) 05/11/2017

Tom earns a few bob. Computer generated rules, yet again. Crowe is his normal Australian lorry driver self. Trying to deliver lines like Anthony Hopkins now.

What is Dr Hyde all about? Surprised Batman didn't turn up..........

Gifted

No computer generation! Wow

(Edit) 05/11/2017

At last a little US film with some acting a dialogue. No exploding livers or massive explosions. Also no big names sucking at the wage bill. Engaging little film and little star is quite the button.

Unlocked

Malkovitch works best

(Edit) 05/11/2017

Apart from J M is a bit similar to loads of other offerings. Not quite credible here and there, and a bit near the knuckle with the terrorist input, but is there to be used i suppose, even in the name of entertainment.

Fast and Furious 8

Surely no FF nine?

(Edit) 05/11/2017

Off we go again with max crash, max noise, max graphics, and minimum acting and dialogue. May as well get the PC game really.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge

Presume Sparrow gone.

(Edit) 27/10/2017

Was OK. Presumably that is the last one.........bit of walk on money for Bloom. Lot of talking. Some old computer scenes very similar to the other films. Still better than a lot of films released, but a bit of a tail-off for fans of Sparrow.............

Fist Fight

Ice Cube in a round hole

(Edit) 24/10/2017

Typical banal US film. Rapid dialogue signifying nothing, except swearing and offensive content. If US schools are really like this, then God help America. Ice Cube wasted in this one.

A Dog's Purpose

Dogs go generational

(Edit) 24/10/2017

Quite clever concept, with some clever photography etc. Would not class as a kids film though.......at least not young ones............

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Arthur goes graphic

(Edit) 14/10/2017

Guy gets bored, so likes to do something different. Got involved with comp graphics with Sherlock, so now gone for broke with Camelot, trying to get a "result", as quoted in the film at one point!

Rockanrolla films all about dialogue and acting. London backing, which he can control through knowledge. Anyone can do graphics. Potter/Rings/Marvels.........getting quite boring now. May as well just put comp games system on screen.

Directors mesmerised with the blue screens and special graphic suits...........get back to clever camera shots, and acting. Decent looped up story etc! Apparently they cannot do it anymore? The actors get lost amongst all the childish colours and explosions...........

Baywatch

Banal Watch

(Edit) 12/10/2017

If liked Baywatch, may find the language and very basic body humour somewhat tasteless. However, if really liked American Pie and Police Academy , and liked them mixed with people who don't like like they can really swim, then this will be a top film to see.

Miss Sloane

Skeletor in corridor of power

(Edit) 12/10/2017

Could not really get to grips with the credibility of the main character. Lot of high pitched banter delivered at speed, but content was often doubtful.

Wolf of Wall Street was not happening .

The Hollow Point

He looks armless

(Edit) 06/10/2017

Gets along and through, and to the other end. Some time passes inbetween. Ian McShane now earns a few bob in the States. Does give some good input into an otherwise normal downhome US shoot out. Lends a bit of Tommy Lee to no country for old men style cop.............

They could have made better use of him...........given him the film, and made it more intelligent, and dropped some of the gore. Would have been harder hitting!!

50/50

Third rock from the left

(Edit) 27/09/2017

Sounds a bit dubious, making a light hearted type of film with a young guy with cancer, but have to give it a 4 as is more than have given 3's to some pretty average stuff.

Not many films manage to do some acting, some comedy, and some moral aspect, all at the same time.

Not box offices set alight i suspect, as no big names present, but all do their jobs very proficiently. Some serious relationship issues dealt with quite credibly.............
